MBA Announces Educational
Courses Offered During September

(Waukesha, WI) – September 4, 2007 – In today’s competitive business climate, it is critical for developers, builders, remodelers, and those affiliated with the construction industry to be able to separate themselves from the competition. That’s why the MBA introduced our Certified Construction Professional program in 2004. A CCP designation speaks to an individual’s dedication to continuing education as well as his or her dedication to the customer and the home building industry. Educated professionals are more likely to educate their customers on the latest technologies available in the home building industry. Professionals who are constantly learning and challenging themselves are not afraid to share new techniques and applications with their customers. The MBA is proud to report that in the third year of the CCP program, over 600 MBA members are well on their way to certification.

In the month of September, the following courses are available to MBA members and other professionals:

* Unless otherwise noted, all classes are held at the Metropolitan Builders Association, N16 W23321 Stone Ridge Dr., Waukesha
